Terminal Upala
About
Terminal Upala serves Costa Rica from Upala in the Provincia de Alajuela, in the country's northern interior. Visitors rate the place at 4.1 out of 5 across 17 reviews, a score that points to a steady local following rather than a passing tourist trade.
Getting here from the main resorts takes some planning, since Upala lies inland and away from the Pacific and Caribbean beach towns. San José, La Fortuna and Monteverde are the closest of the well-known destinations, while Tamarindo, Jacó, Santa Teresa, Puerto Viejo and Manuel Antonio sit much further away along the coasts. Intercity buses are the main form of public transport in Costa Rica, and driving is on the right.
Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast, and the country's cloud forest, rainforest and dry tropical forest all occur within a short drive of one another. Green and leatherback turtles nest on the Caribbean beaches, while olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings.
For anyone travelling through the Alajuela province, Terminal Upala offers a fixed point in a part of the country that most visitors pass through rather than linger in.
